The President speaks hopefully of his con dition. The discharge of pus during the night was satisfactory. His tem perature this morning is apparently about normal. The carpet in nis cham ber is taken up. the floor will be care fully dusted and a fire kindled in the grate for the purpose of securing thor- uugii veuMiauoM. iiu; iresiueni will not bo taken back to his chamber for several hours. For the purpose of ob viating sounds of footsteps on the floor strips oi carpet will be placea in the most frequented parts of the room. It is considered that this arrangement will render the chamber much more re freshing to the patient and that it hence forth wul be decidedly more comforta ble. Had it been practicable the sur geons say they would have ordered the change before. The attending sur geons say the President has not looked so wen since ne was wounaea as tins morning, and he is delighted with the change which is being made in his room. Executive Mansion, Washington, Ju ly 28. Colonel Rockwell says the Pres ident is decidedly better this morning than at any time since he was wounded; that at the morning dressing there was a free and healthy discharge of pus from the wound and a portion of the original wound above the incision was observed to have commenced healing. The sur geons, after a consultation of suject this morning concluded that removal of the heavy carpet which now covers the floor of the President's chamber would be beneficial, and considering the brightness of the morning with perfect ly fresh and dry atmospTiere together with the favorable condition of the President it was decided to make the change at once. The surgeons main tain that the carpet absorbs the impuri ties of the atmosphere which invariably exist to more or less extent in a sick room and it is a receptacle for the se cretion of dust etc. The President's bed was carefully removed from his own room to a room across the hall where he is now resting quietly. OFFICIAL BULLETIN. Executive Mansion, 12:80 p. m. The President bore the dressing of his wound this forenoon with less fatigue than hitherto. It appears well and is discharging sufficiently. His pulse is now 04, temperature 98.5, respiration 18. Signed, I). W. Bliss, J. K. Barnes, J. J. Woodward, Robt. Reyburn. the best news vet. Executive Mansion, 1 lp. m. The President is doing splendidly to-day and has no fever and the surgeons now consider his fever broken for good. The wound continues to drain thoroughly. He has a good appetite and his food di- fests. Dr. Hamilton arrived from New ork this a. m. and at noon he said the President was improving as fast as pos sible. CONTINUES FAVORABLE. Executive Mansion, 2 p. m. The condition of the President continues very satisfactorv. Pulse below 100. He is entirely free from fever and resting quietly. He has not been moved back to bis room.

The American prints a letter to Enoch Pratt from the financier who started the Mrs. Garfield subscription in New York, in which he, for the second time, urges Baltimore to subscribe, and says the list will close on the thirtieth instant. The American says: It must be con fessed that our citizens have so far shown little disposition to contribute to this project, not as we believe because they are at all lacking in generous feel ing, but because they think the move ment ui-timuu ana in baa taste. Death of Col. Burets. Washington, July 28. Colonel John C. Burch, Secretary of the U. S. Senate, died here to-day of heart disease. Transatlantic Cablegram. PILAOE, ARSON, ROBBERY. Alexandria, July 28. The Catholic bishop of Massfia and four missionaries on a tour of inspection of the Catholic missionary stations in Abyssinia were captured by natives who pillaged and burned a church and mission house, robbed the prisoners of their clothes and sent them into the interior. FRENCH AFFAIRS IN AFRICA. London, July 28. A Paris corres pondent of the Times says the true rea son for hastening the date of the elec tion is that General Moussier the French commander in Africa sent a confiden tial report to Paris that a serious insur rection might be. expected to break out in September and a great effort would then have to do made and a formidable army sent to Africa. Perhaps the mobilization of the army would even be necessary, in short it would even be needful to take rapid and decisive steps which might cause uneas iness among the electors. This made the government alter the date of the elections, as, if in September the coun try is confronted with a series of war campaigns the elections might be seri ously compromised and a formidable argument afforded to the opposition.

Allen, the Hawaian minister at Washington, which says the statement that King Kalakaua wants to sell his kingdom is literally without foundation. His tour is . from liberal curiosity and for en lightenment and the purpose of making nimseii laminar wiui tne government, institutions and people of other coun tries. The King is accompanied by a commissioner of emigration who had hopes that he could induce emigration irom lntlia or some other country that would strengthen ana increase the Hawaian race. His travels are for pa triotic purposes ana win undoubtedly be of great value to his own people and the idea of the sale of the kingdom is as abhorent to the King as the same act would be to any sovereign in Europe.

A fact connected with the elevation of Mr. Strong to the Presidency of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, not hith erto made public, has just transpired. The Times can vouch for its accuracy. Mr. Strong was tendered a position in the management of the new Ontario & Western railroad, now rapidly taking shape as a trunk line. The double title which the company was ready to con fer upon him was that of Vice-President and General Manager. The salary was to be an advance upon the stipend allowed him by the Atchison.Topeka & Santa Fe company. Mr. Strong was considering this proposal when Presi dent Coolidge demanded of the board that some action be taken at once which would relieve him of the duties of the executive office. At about the same time it reached the ears of the directo ry and the principal stockholders that a tempting offer to go with nother com pany was awaiting Mr. Strong's ac ceptance or rejection. They said: "We will settle this matter of position and salary at once. We will elect Mr. Strong President and double his sal ary." This was immediately done. The mention of George Nettleton's name in connection with the position of Genearal Manager of the Atchison road was brought about in this way: Presi dent Coofidge was constantly demand ing to be relieved. Mr. Strong prefer red to remain in Topeka, in active charge of the road, except in the event of his election to the Presidency, which, it seems, he did not expect or ask for. He could not remain in Topeka and re lieve the President of any considerable part of his official duties. It was there fore proposed by some of the directors that Mr. Nettleton should be invited to take a position as assistant to President Coolidge, and to reside in Boston; but the determination to elect Mr. Strong . T 1 !.! to the rresiaency causea a cnange oi programme. Chicago Times. The I'tea. From a letter received by Mr. Bul lock, of this city, from his brother, Charley Bullock, bearing date of the 20th inst, and written at Rico, it will be seen that there is something more than talk in the rumors of Indian troubles over there. The News is per mitted to publish the following ex tract: "The camp is some livelier than it has been, but the Indian racket and the stage robbery have knocked -I out of it for this summer. I hoped to get out of the mines this summer for good, but think now I am elected for some more oi it. Dave Willis was in the first day's fight of Little Castle Val ley with the Utes, along with nine oth ers. Three were wounded out of a squad of nineteen of us. The Utes ac knowledge having lost fifteen killed, seven mortally wounded, besides others disabled, and they were not few. It was the hottest afternoon that I have seen for many a day. . The thermome ter marked 110 degrees in the shade, and there wasn't any shade, but there was about two hundred and fifty pounds of lead to the minute for eight hours, twenty hours without water and thirty without a mouthful to cat. It was cal culated to remind one of the days of his infancy, and we are sure to have more of it before summer is over, for they have been murdering and stealing long enough, beside they hold some of the best mineral and decidedly the best farming and stock country we have Rico commenced the fight, and if the eovernment can't remove the Utes it had better take the troops wrhere it won't cost so much to keep them, and the poor things won t have such a hard time, and the miners will soon locate the Utes on a reservation where they will not only stay, but will be at peace with the world, and the devu may take chances with them in the next. If they are not removed this summer the miners will commence a war of extermination this fall and win ter." Trinidad News. Billy "the Kid." The Chicago Tribune shows a delicate appreciation of affairs on the frontier hardly to be expected of a newspaper published so far east. Speaking of the killing of Billy "the Kid," it says: The inhabitants of New Mexico do not stand upon technicalities of the law in dealing with desperadoes. A certain Mr. McCarthy, formerly of New York, and better known as Billy "the Kid," a promising young man of twenty-one. whose proud boast it was that lie had killed a man for every year of his life, has lately been pursued and shot dead on sight, by a sheriff near Las Vegas The coroner's jury which sat on the body thus energetically furnished for its use. rendered a verdict of justifiable homicide and passed a vote of thanks to the sheriff for ridding the community of this remarkable young man, who seems to have made himself a terror to the region. Furthermore, the sheriff will receive a handsome reward from the Territory, and be the recipient of a popular subscription. In all of which there is more of justice, rude as it is, than in many of the decisions of the courts, aided as they are by all of the machinery of civilization." A. J. Snider and C. Word purchased the -tract oi land known as the mc Anultv ranch in the pan handle of Tex as, yesterday, paying for the same the sum of 8103.000. Ihe property com prises over 70,000 acres and has some 8,- 000 head of cattle upon it. which are in eluded in the purchase. Quinlan and Frazier purchased it for $150,000 three days ago, and sold it to Snider and Word at an advance of H13.000. Mr. Snider has already been offered 25.000 for his bargain. Kansas City Star of the mil. " The Climate ofXew Mexico. I think there is no climate in the world that is so beneficial to those who have weak lungs as New Mexico. I have been in Switzerland and. most places recommended for lung complaint and I unhesitatingly commend New Mexico. The changes are, of course sudden and great, but one must be pre pared. The air is dry and pure. I saw many people who had succeeded in warding of the disease, who, had they remained in the States would have been coffined long ago, and was assured by the physicians that bronchitis was un known. The statistics bear me out in this, too, for the fact is that the lowest death rate from tubercular disease in America is in this Territory. In New England the rate - is given as 2.T per cent. ; in the Northwestern States, from 12 to 14; in the Southern, from 5 to 0. while in New Mexico it is but 3 per cent. Hence I have no hesltency in saying that for persons with the con sumption their fives will probably be prolonged in New Mexico, while those slightly affected here will probably nev er die of lung complaints. Cincinnati doctor in Philadelphia Record. The Mormon high priests are urging the Saints to sell no more real estate to Gentiles. The Salt Lake Tribune tak ing the injunction as a text,-preaches an excellent sermon to all sensible Mor-' mons, if such there be. It says: '"Your best patrons are the Gentiles. You were nearly starving, were abjectly poor, and your property was almost worthless when the Gentiles came. The Gentiles are the only ones who have created wealth here; the only ones who have furnished you a market for your Eroducts. When a Gentile buys a lot e not only pays for it, but he builds upon it; your artisans are given work, your merchants are patronized for ma terial and furniture. Your leaders would stop all this, if possible, reduce you to the extremes under which you fjroaned when the gentiles first came íere. Buy and sell your lots as you please, and if any man in the name of the Lord interferes tell him you have an inspiration of your own, and that you expect every moment a revelation to kick him off your premises. Try it; it will not be bad for your soul; it will be splendid for your pocket and your manhood." The Pinnacle ot MesnnsxH. It was supposed that the farmer who sued for trespass the boy who saved him from drowning, had attained the topmost pinnacle ot meanness, but ho will soon be forgotten in the contempla tion of the New London saloon keeper, who offered to reward the poor but honest young man who had returned a lost purse containing $400 by shaking with him lor arinks. ine poor but honest young man lost, once more prov ing the grana old maxim that honesty is the best policy; for if he had spent all his money for the drinks he would have -purchased a toy pistol for his boy, and the little fellow would now have been writhing in the grasp of lockjaw. Progress ol' the Texas A Paeilie. The track of the Texas & Pacific rail oad will tally, the latter part of this month, its four hundredth mile from Dallas. The latest intelligence from the end of the track is that there are good health and fresh air at an elevation of 3,200 feet above the sea, between the waters of the south fork of the Colo rado and the Pecos rivers. The scene draws its picturesquesness from Colti Rock cut, a gigantic gap of 5,000 feet in width, and in places as deep as 17 feet. The Pecos river will be reached by Sept. 1, and the Guadaloupe moun tains, which lie 60 miles further west, will be crossed, it is thought, early in October, instead of December, as re ported a month or so back. The advance guard of civilization in the new Texas, just being reclaimed from solitude anu savageism, compri ses, in addition to the track force is SCO man tlio frVllnwInnr. A TTnitml Ktfltau Commissioner and Deputy Marshals, to apprehend violators of the revenue laws; a squad oi mounted lexas rangers, to exercise, so iar as possible, a whole some restraint on the festive and res tive spirits of the "cowboys" who flock to the new towns in pursuit ot pleasure: and a company of the 10th United States cavalry (colored,) charged with the duty of protecting the track-layers from inteference by the Indians. Camp life with this crowd is full of weird in terest, through which there runs an ed dying current of excitement, rising at times to a height peculiarly and posi tively thrilling. 1 rack-laying since July i has av eraged two miles a day, and after August 1 the track will be laid at the rate of three miles a day. At this rate, the weather permitting. El Paso cer tainly will be reached before Christmas. The track force of 350 men, with sixty teams and four construction trains, and the daily consumption of twenty-four cars of iron, seventy-five cars of ties, and twelve cars of water, are the figures that tell of as rapid railroad build ing, probably, as was ever accomplished in this country, not accepting that done by the Chinese on the Southern Pacific. The wages of the iron men and spike gang have been raised to $2.50 per day, the highest ever paid to laborers on any railroad in this or -any other Mate. Chicago Times.
